Hume-Rothery, Prof. William, (15 May 1899–27 Sept. 1968), Professor Emeritus, Oxford; first Isaac Wolfson Professor of Metallurgy, University of Oxford, 1958–66; St Edmund Hall Professorial Fellow, 1958–66, Hon. Fellow, 1966; Fellow, Imperial College of Science and Technology, since 1963; Hon. Lecturer in the University of Sheffield

It is my pleasant duty to welcome you all most warmly to this meeting, which is one of the many events stimulated by the advisory committee of the William and Mary Trust on Science and Technology and Medicine, under the Chairmanship of Sir Arnold Burgen, the immediate past Foreign Secretary of the Royal Society. This is a joint meeting of the Royal Society and the British Academy, whose President, Sir Randolph Quirk, will be Chairman this afternoon, and it covers Science and Civilization under William and Mary, presumably with the intention that the Society would cover Science if the Academy would cover Civilization. The meeting has been organized by Professor Rupert Hall, a Fellow of the Academy and also well known to the Society, who is now Emeritus Professor of the History of Science and Technology at Imperial College in the University of London; and Mr Norman Robinson, who retired in 1988 as Librarian to the Royal Society after 40 years service to the Society.
